Decision Time and OTL is crying again!

Well, it has been difficult over the last few days, after the 'Introductions' at the Rescue Centre. Miss May has taken to nipping Old Two Legs and we are back to the TCP like it was with Snowflake when she first turned up. However, she is getting picked on by Snowflake who has taken to chasing her around the house and attacking her.

OTL, being a bit of a softy, has decided that he will give up on trying to get all the ferrets to live together in one group. So, we are going to have two groups!

Snowflake and Brambles have gone back to cuddling and snoozing in their own cage and April and May have set up home is Aprils cage. April, who is the dominant one still gives her sister a nip now and again, just to let her know who is in charge!

All Agro stops for a Slurp!

We were down the beach first thing with Brambles and Snowflake, Snowflake decided that she would enjoy another Sea Weed Wrap to help get rid of all the stress of having a visitor she would rather not have!

I want to go back to eight days ago!

Then after enjoying the Sea Weed, she headed up the beach and dived into a load of dried sea weed for a quick Exfoliate!

I love a good rub down!

That was it, she felt on top of the world and we all headed back home!

On getting home, OTL let all three ferrets out for a rampage and the first thing that Snowflake did was to beat up Miss May!

That was it, decision made, May was back with her sister and OTL was onto the supplier of cages for another Tower Cage so that they have the same space.

Lunchtime we took May and April down the beach and they a run on the beach and in the grass. They enjoyed chasing after OTL 'cos they are still a bit wary of the Big Outdoors!

After a while they both wanted to be picked up and carried. OTL put May in the bag and April stayed on his arm and rested her head in his palm. Then, with OTL stroking her head, she fell asleep!

It was about then that May jumped out of the bag and went tearing off along the grass path!

A little further along the path they asked to be picked up again and dived straight into the bag again!

OTL stopped at one of the benches and we sat there for a little while, enjoying the sunshine.

This beats walking!

May curled up at the bottom of the bag for a quick snooze!

It's tiring having fun!

April stuck her head out and rested her head on OTL's tummy and drifted off to sleep again!

I like a soft tummy!

So now OTL has got to reorganise The Office so that the cages will fit in together. This means moving the freezer to The Missus's Card Room and rearrange the cupboard and filling cabinet!

Oh dear, such a shame, but maybe in time they will all become best friends. At least while they're neighbours there is hope that they will start to get on with each other, my mum said, should she look out for the programme nightmare neighbours? Glad you all had fun on the beach, Snowflake really does look like she's enjoying her seaweed wrap. I bet Mr Brambles is glad that life is getting back to some normality. Poor OTL though, he's getting beaten up on now. Miss Snowflake has decided that Mr Brambles is a one woman man. I hope your TN doesn't mind having the freezer in her craft stash room. Lovely pictures today, shame there weren't any of my favourite girls. Hope the muggings are good tonight. Have a peaceful evening all. Love, licks and wags from little Arch xxxxxx

Mmm what a shame. Good job TM had already moved out of her craft room! Lovely pictures of April and May. They seem so relaxed with OTL though maybe given some time things will settle down. Sounds like the right decision for now. Poor OTL's wallet!

Oh that's a shame that you need to have 2 ferret groups but it's better that everyone is happy and hopefully OTL won't need to much more TOP! It's so lovely to see Miss April and Miss May enjoying the outdoors. What happy photos of the page three girls sleeping on OIL'S tummy. My mum wondered if TM was happy with this especially as she's now getting a freezer in her card room! Woofs and wags from Hamish and Izzy xx

About Me

Hello, my name is Daisy and I was taken away from
Mum and Dad by Old Two Legs and The Missus one cold dark evening. It was a bit
traumatic at the time but we all soon settled down and everything is OK now.

My sister Holly came to live with us about a year later and between the pair of us we manage to keep these Two Legs in line!

In December 2012, we were joined by Snowflake, a little ferret we found in our garden. She had her own home in OTL's office called Snowy Heights!

Then in July 2013 Mr Brambles, a super Sandy Hob Ferret, came to live with us and be a mate for Snowflake. We sadly lost Mr Brambles to old age in September 2015. A gentle ferret who will be missed terribly. We also lost Miss Snowflake in November 2015. She has left a big hole in our hearts, she was a real Daddy's Girl to the end.

There arrived two new ferrets in August 2015, Miss May and Miss April who are sisters, born in 2013, we think! They were full of fun and mischief and kept up the tradition of pinching our biscuits, just like Brambles did!

Sadly Miss April contracted Cardiomyopathy, which is a heart condition. She died in September 2016 and is resting in a flower pot in the garden with Snowflake and Brambles.

We were down to two ferrets and an empty cage but that didn't last long, a brother and sister ferrets needed a 'Forever Home' and Fred & Wilma moved in. They are about two and a half years old, so they were born 2012/2013. Fred is a gentle soul who loves cuddles with OTL and Wilma a bossy sister but loves OTL! We reckon them to be Polecat Coloured Ferrets.

It was a shock when Wilma was attacked by a dog and unfortunately died of shock a few hours later. Like Snowflake, Brambles and April, she is also sleeping in a flower pot in our garden.

Fred was not happy about being on his own and he was introduced to Wendy, a Polecat Coloured Ferret who found her way to the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue.

Introductions went well to begin with but within a day or so she began instructing Fred on just who was really in charge!

We had something similar with Miss May who lost her sister to Cardiomyopathy (Weak Heart). Miss May is a feisty young lady and she was introduced to Eric de Ferret while we were down at the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue and although she tried to be a bit bossy, he was having none of it! He may only be six months old but her didn't back down and the pair came to an agreement!

So young Eric moved in and they both started to learn how to get on together!

OTL takes us walking every day and we have 'Adventures'! The Missus feeds us, so, what more can a pair of puppies and family of fun loving ferrets ask for?
